Popis: Serum cystatin-C (SCysC) and microalbuminuria are well-recognized early markers of renal damage. This study aims to assess whether these early markers are elevated in children with obesity and normal serum creatinine (SCr). Pediatric patients diagnosed with obesity were included (n = 105, ages 4-18 y) in this study. The patients were divided into three groups as follows: solely obese, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Serum cystatin-C, 24-h microalbuminuria, SCr and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were evaluated in all patients. All patients were examined with history, physical examination, laboratory analysis and ultrasonography evaluation. The findings showed that renal function, GFR and SCr levels were normal in all patients. There was microalbuminuria in six patients and SCysC was elevated in eight patients. There were also both elevated SCysC and microalbuminuria in eight patients. Significant elevations of both microalbuminuria and SCysC were detected in cases with type 2 diabetes (p
